\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Even though your hardest part of IVF is done successfully, you must follow the medications your doctor advised for you. Because your medication may help you to develop the implanted embryo. You are advised to take a pregnancy test after 12-14 days of embryo transfer by your healthcare provider. Till that you have to follow your medications strictly.<\/span><\/p>

Set alarms and mark the time and date of the medicines you intake. Don\u2019t forget to take essential medicines which makes your uterus a safest place to grow your child within you.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Folic acid plays a vital role in pre and after fertility treatment. It increases the rate of fertilisation, lower failure rate in embryo transfer as well as improves the quality of embryo. So the survival of the embryo is increased after implantation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    The required amount of folic acid should be taken to avoid neural related problems in newborn babies. It also prevents certain development abnormalities like spinal related issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    It should be taken one month prior to your IVF treatment and also after embryo implantation for about 12 weeks of your pregnancy. You may be advised to take the folic acid medicine till the delivery of your baby for fulfilling adequate folic acid to the baby in the womb.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The chemicals which are creating direct impact with the human body\u2019s hormones are parabens and pesticides. These chemicals are widely present in our environment and also in our daily food and products we use.<\/span><\/p>

    Endocrine disruptor foods:<\/span><\/p>

    • Red meat contains unhealthy fats<\/span><\/li>
    • Processed foods which are packed and tinned.<\/span><\/li>
    • Caffeine<\/span><\/li>
    • Soy and dairy products<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

      Like this we are exposed to many endocrine disruptors in our day to day activities. We must be aware of our environment and lifestyle. These lifestyle changes may cause decline in the natural conceiving process for many couples. Man made chemicals cause dangerous changes in human metabolic which affects the sex hormones as well as developmental hormones highly.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Sexual intercourse is highly recommended to avoid because it may cause disturbance to the transferred embryo and lead to miscarriage.

So you must avoid your sex desire to save your baby in the womb.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      A highly recommended activity which should not be taken is Sexual intercourse. Because it causes the uterine walls to contract which may lead to miscarriage of the embryo. This sexual contact may disturb the embryo to get implanted into the uterus.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
